is defined as failure of the thyroid gland to produce sufficient amounts
of thyroid hormones necessary to maintain "normal" blood levels of those
hormones and "normal" blood levels of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
produced by the pituitary gland. The TSH test is the standard blood test
your doctor checks when looking for hypothyroidism. Around 7% of Americans
suffer Type 1 hypothyroidism.

Type 2 Hypothyroidism

is defined as peripheral resistance to thyroid hormones at the cellular
level. It is not due to a lack of adequate thyroid hormones. Normal amounts
of thyroid hormones and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are detected
by the blood tests; therefore, blood tests do not detect Type 2 hypothyroidism.
Type 2 hypothyroidism is usually inherited. However, environmental toxins
may also cause or exacerbate the problem. The pervasiveness of Type 2 hypothyroidism
has yet to be recognized by mainstream medicine but is already in epidemic
proportions

Above: A severely affected 14-year-old hypothyroid girl with puffiness
around the eyes, thickened lips, depressed root of the nose (saddle nose),
and straight, coarse hair. The second picture was taken after only 6 months
of treatment with desiccated thyroid. Note the elevated bridge of the nose,
brighter eyes, thinner lips, and glossy, curly hair. Her constipation had
resolved and her appetite improved.

Adult woman with the characteristic puffiness that often accompanies
hypothyroidism.
Her puffiness and hair texture markedly improve after treatment with
desiccated thyroid.

Adult man with the "obese form" of hypothyroidism. Note the striking
resoltion of his puffiness (myxedema) after treatment with desiccated thyroid.
Myxedema is the medical term for hypothyroidism. Myx is the Greek word
for mucin, which accumulates in hypothyroidism. Edema means swelling.

This is another example of the resolution of the puffiness (myxedema)
following proper treatment of hypothyroidism with desiccated thyroid

Figure 1a shows the appearance of a 27-year-old woman's face before
treatment with desiccated thyroid. She had puffiness around her nose and
eyes. Her menses gegan at age 16 and were irregular with scant flow. She
had no interest in the opposite sex. There was an absence of pubic hair.
She was constipated, gained weight easily, had dry skin and hair, had anemia,
and she tired easily.

According to Dr. Jorge Fleschas, Dr. Grove's tonic (bromide
based) was used to fatten up children.

Here is what Dr. Jarvis
has to say about the Halogen's, one of which is Bromine, and their affect
on displacing Iodine in the body: "There is a well-known law of halogen
displacement. The halogen group is made up as follows:RelativeHalogen
Atomic WeightFluorine
19. Chlorine
35.5Bromine 80.Iodine
127.

The critical activity of any one of these four halogens
is in inverse proportion to its atomic weight. This means that any one
of the four can displace the element with a higher atomic weight, but cannot
displace an element with a lower atomic weight. For example, fluorine can
displace chlorine, bromine and iodine because fluorine has a lower atomic
weight than the other three. Similarly, chlorine can displace bromine and
iodine because they both have a higher atomic weight. Likewise, bromine
can displace iodine from the body because iodine has a higher atomic weight.
But a reverse order is not possible. A knowledge of this well-known chemical
law brings us to a consideration of the addition of chlorine to our drinking
water as a purifying agent. We secure a drinking water that is harmful
to the body not because of its harmful germ content but because the chlorine
content now causes the body to lose the much-needed iodine."
